(b) Starting the engine
Before starting the engine, be sure to fol-
low the instructions in "(a) Before crank-
ing".
Normal starting procedure
The multiport fuel injection system/sequen-
tial multiport fuel injection system in your
engine automatically controls the proper
air−fuel mixture for starting. You can start
a cold or hot engine as follows:
With manual transmission—With your foot
off the accelerator pedal, crank the engine
by turning the ignition key to "START"
position. Release it when the
starts.
With automatic transmission—With your
foot off the accelerator pedal, turn the
ignition key to "START" position, then re-
lease it.
Engine should be warmed up by driving,
not in idle. For warming up, drive with
smoothly turning engine until engine cool-
ant temperature is within normal range.
If the engine stalls...
Simply restart it, using the correct proce-
dure given in normal starting.
If the engine will not start...
See "If your vehicle will not start" in Sec-
tion 4.
NOTICE
z With manual transmission only—Do
not crank for more than 30 seconds
at a time. This may overheat the
starter and wiring systems.
z Do not race a cold engine.
z If the engine becomes difficult to
start or stalls frequently, have the
engine checked immediately.

Tips for driving in various
conditions
Always slow down in gusty crosswinds.
D
This will allow you much better control.
Drive slowly onto curbs and, if pos-
D
sible, at a right angle. Avoid driving
onto high, sharp−edged objects and
other road hazards. Failure to do so
can lead to severe tire damage such
as a tire burst.
Drive slowly when passing over bumps
or travelling on a bumpy road. Other-
wise, the impact could cause severe
damage to the tires and/or wheels.
When parking on a hill, turn the front
D
wheels until they touch the curb so
that the vehicle will not roll. Apply the
parking brake, and place the transmis-
sion in "P" (automatic) or in first or
reverse (manual). If necessary, block
the wheels.
